Study Notes
Electric Circuits and Current
- Electric current is expressed in amperes (A), with 1 ampere equal to 1 coulomb per second.
The Role of Switches
- A switch in an electric circuit functions to control the flow of electric current by opening or closing the circuit.
Effects of a Broken Circuit
- When a circuit is broken, the electric current stops flowing.
Flow of Charges in a Torch
- The flow of charges in a torch is provided by a battery, which enables the bulb to glow.
Components of an Electric Circuit
- An electric circuit consists of a conductor, such as a wire, a source of voltage (e.g., a battery), and a device that uses the electric energy (e.g., a light bulb).
